Lung and systemic inflammation in preterm lambs on continuous positive airway pressure or conventional ventilation.

abstract：:There are substantial alterations in fuel homeostasis immediately after birth. Leptin is a putative regulator of energy metabolism. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine whether there are changes in circulating leptin concentrations during the early postnatal period. Umbilical cord mixed blood samples wer...
